http://www.sexaddictionscounseling.com/ Counseling vs. Treatment Most of the sex addiction programs and certified sex addiction therapists (CSATs) that treat people for sex addiction make a distinction between “counseling” vs. “treatment.” The initial approach to helping people with sex addiction is more often thought of as “treatment.” The difference is that when we think of counseling or therapy we tend to think of a process whereby people change because they get insights into the cause of their problems and this awareness makes them behave differently.

I have always been told that I do things the hard way. I think of it as the fact that I am always up for a challenge, or simply have to learn things for myself. It has been with age and exposure to wisdom that I realized that I can trust in others' experiences. I have also learned that I need to share more of my experiences in order to help others with life's challenges. I have been many things in life, and I have worn many faces of womanhood. I grew up in a semi-rural area in a Roman Catholic home, filled with children and life affirming struggles. I declared my need to be the black sheep during my teenage years by being the hippie-goth-punk-rock jock that started to emerge as part of Generation X. I went to college, and depression followed me, so I sought escape in drugs, sex, and alcohol. At 21 I was pregnant and cleaning up my ways, when my baby girl arrived. From then on, I took college seriously, while I worked, ran a family, and tried to make things work with my baby's daddy, whom I married when our girl was 5 years old. I went through episodes of major depression every few years and would loose myself in addiction as my own 'therapy'. After the events of 9-11, my husband decided to join the Army and do his part. We were both 30 and now the parents of 2 girls. Becoming a military family was rewarding and torturous. We gained pride and strength and patriotism. We lost years of time with the man of our house (he deployed 3 times, for a total of 3.5 years gone in a 6 year period.) We also lost trust in him, with his disturbing, then betraying behavior, after his mind got scrambled from PTSD. As we all heal, and try to work things out, I have finally received the medical help I needed for my major depressive disorder. though it involved institutionalization, I now follow the 12 steps and I am seeking peace. My adventures are something that I want to share with the world in the hopes of helping others.

I'm always indulging in social media, they're my favorite vice at the moment. I love spending time outside during the bearable months here in the valley of the sun, hiking, camping, biking... anything to allow me to forget, for a few moments, that i live really, really close to 5 million or so people. When I'm not enjoying my hobbies I also am a contractor for a software company in Scottsdale, AZ. I have a beautiful Siberian Husky named Kaya. Who inconveniently can jump most fences. You'll usually find me in my "office" with a cup of tea, reading some article, with my iPhone close by beaming in updates.

I am a music psychotherapist in New York City, and I have worked with people with terminal illnesses, grieving families, and people who are trying to understand their sexuality and relationships.

I came to the U.S. at age of 12 with my mother. We settled in sunny Florida, which was quite a contrast to Minsk. After graduating from the University of Florida, I got a job as a counselor. My goal is to set up my own counseling practice and write.

I am a 37 year-old Female to Male transgender guy living in Pennsylvania. I was born in Rockford, IL, and have lived in Las Vegas, Arkansas, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. I believe that it's important to get out of your comfort zone. One of the ways that I do that is by moving to new places. I consider myself a nomad of sorts. I am currently disabled as a result of a motor vehicle accident, and am trying to find ways to raise money to pay rent, etc until my Disability payments start coming in from Social Security. I am well-read, intelligent, and have a pretty decent sense of humor. That sense of humor is what gets me through the hard times in life. Without it, I wouldn't be here today.
